Sharif Verdict, JIT to be established

According to the 3-2 verdict order, a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) is needed to be formed to probe the allegations. The opposition party, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) stated that super judiciary has always been lenient towards Sharif and his family, and also demanded a resignation from PM Sharif.

The JIT should be formed within a week, and the investigation should be completed within 60 days. This will ensure that allegations of corruption against Sharif remain in the public eye and that the details of his wealth, discussed in embarrassing detail by the Supreme Court.

However, JIT will comprise of 6 members, out of which 4 will be ‘work’ for the government, i.e. by the PM, and the other 2 will be from the Military/ISI. Hence, interference is suspected in the task of JIT.

JIT is supposed to submit reports within 60 days, after which a special bench will review the paper and might decleare results before 2018 elections.
